Ghostly Murders (Canterbury Pilgrimage Mysteries)

Ghostly Murders (Canterbury Pilgrimage Mysteries) - P.C. Doherty I've read 2 or 3 other books in this "Canterbury Tales" series of medieval mysteries by Doherty. They all feature dark doings and a question of "is it or is it not supernatural?" In this installment, as the group of pilgrims sits in an abandoned village, emptied by the Black Death years earlier, the Poor Priest tells his tale - years before, when he came to the village of Scawsby, he felt that something was not right with the town. Did the secret lie within the town's legends - that, a generation ago, a fleeing group of Templars was ambushed by the villagers, and their precious treasure stolen? The village church seems cursed, and ghostly horsemen are seen on the borders of the marches that surround the town...
Not bad...
